Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 6 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
   • Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
   • Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
3. Prepare the Topping:
   • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
   • Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Assemble the Crisp:
   • Evenly spread the topping mixture over the apple filling.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve:
   • Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
